HINDUISMWhat Really Happened in India. An in depth analysis of the history of the basic Hindu concepts to ascertain their origin.  It is shown that Hindu Gods of Prajapathy, Vishnu, Siva, Pillayar, Krishna etc are actually an indigenized form of Christ derived from syncretic influence of Gnosticism of Manichaean, Greek, and modern Theosophical movements.   This claim is revolutionary and we do have enough evidence to support this proposal.
